Tonight is the night I've been waiting for since last Fall. A tradition that Sony and I have been dragged into (actually, most willingly). I'm referring to a get-together we know as "Top Gear Night".
We have a great group of friends here in Knoxville. Most of which attend Christ Community Church with us. The tradition of Top Gear Night basically just involves all of us gathering around somebody's glowing picture box to watch the latest episode of the greatest show ever -- Top Gear. A beautifully produced program on the BBC 2 about cars, Top Gear spares no expense to make quality entertainment with exceptional production quality...and a bit of good ol' British humor.
Now, I'll probably catch a lot of flack from some of you hardcore peeps out there, but neither Sonya, nor I are really "car people". You know what I mean when I say that. Neither of us could talk to you about cars in any intelligent manner...unless we're talking about the Volvo or the Love Boat. What I can tell you is that this show is just fun and pretty to watch! The amount of effort they put into its production is definitely noticeable.
Watch this clip from last season and you'll see what I mean. Be sure to click the HQ (High Quality) button in order for it to play correctly. (If that doesn't work, just click here to watch the video on YouTube.) If you're not a fan of the show after watching this, I don't know what to say.

Improv Everywhere...even in Knoxville! Monday, June 08, 2009
So, while perusing the interwebs, I came across this video on Ken Wilson's blog...
I had to watch it a few times to see all of the people's faces that were not part of this event. Someday, this will be me! I will don my hammer pants (or other mission critical attire) and dance, sing and act like I don't care who's watching...because it's not as embarrassing when everybody's doing it, right?
In watching this video, I was reminded of the whole Improv Everywhere movement (a.k.a. Urban Prankster) and how I still long to be a part of that. Knoxville has a group, which I am a part of, but haven't gotten involved with any such events...YET!
Take some time to check out the Improv Everywhere website and some of the classic missions they've done over the years. Then, find your local Urban Prankster group and make a scene!

Our Cat, The Celebrity Thursday, April 02, 2009
Have you ever heard of a LOLcat, a.k.a. "cat meme", or just simply a "lol"? In short, a LOLcat is a picture of a cat, with some text captioned on the photo expressing the cat's thoughts or explaining the photo in what is known as "lolspeak".
Confused? You'll just have to visit icanhascheezburger.com to really get it. If you're interested, check out the history of I Can Has Cheezburger or this Wikipedia entry about LOLcats.
Well, tonight I got a flattering email from one of the folks over at ICHC. They hand-picked this photo of our cat Beedie and want to use it in their next book! How cool is that?!
Not only is Beedie going to be a star, but the ICHC peeps want to give us props in the book, which will be titled I Can Has Cheezburger?: Lolcats Teach U How To Take Over Teh Wurld. Let's hear it for Beedie!!
Oh, and if you want to see the original caption that went with this photo, you can see it here on icanhascheezburger.com. Don't forget to vote for it! We'll keep you posted when we know more.

April Fools Day Prank Wednesday, April 01, 2009
This afternoon, we had probably one of the best April Fool's Day pranks played on us EVER! Read this email thread first, then I'll explain what happened. (images will expand when clicked)
So, here's how it all went down. Sean creates a Gmail account of luchauer.sonya, which is flipped from what her actual account is. From that account, he sends the first message (disguised as Sonya) to himself about us being pregnant. He then replies to Sonya with what he says in the first email above and also CC's about 50 people (some we know, some we don't) to the email. ALL of these people get an email from Sean with what looks like a legitimate email from Sonya saying that we're pregnant.
After some time passes, and after my heart jumps back into my chest from thinking that Sonya told these friends of ours that we're pregnant before even telling ME, Sean follows up with the second email above saying that he was mistaken and that we're having twins.
Well, now I'm thinking "okay, okay...you got us good, Sean", but he follows up with a third email saying we're having triplets, but then goes on to smooth everything over, explaining that it was all an April Fool's joke. Phew! Sonya and I didn't know what was going on and I'm sure the people that were all copied on Sean's emails REALLY were wondering. I'm just glad he didn't have our parent's email addresses in his contact list!!
I talked to another friend who received one of these emails and he said that people were going to think one of three things after reading them:

Jesus loves you...even when you look like a _____! [fill in the blank] Friday, September 12, 2008
Wow! What else can I say? Check out these interesting videos that I found on YouTube. Surely, God still appreciates this kind of worship...even if it's hard for me to watch. Hahah!
Though he reminds me of John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, I can't help but see this guy being in one of my all-time favorite movies Breakin'? Pay attention at 1:58.

On this next one, note the phrases at 0:55 and 1:50. Classic!
